Story
Meet Lucy!  Lucy is a beautiful young German Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. She can be a little shy when she first meets new people, but once she warms up, she becomes the biggest sweetheart and total lover who just wants to be by your side. This sweet girl has one very specific favorite toy: stuffed animal balls (no stuffed bears or other shapes — she’ll happily shred those apart!). She loves carrying them around, playing gentle fetch, and showing off her playful side with her favorite ball toys. Lucy may enjoy a home with kids who will give her time to build trust and shower her with affection. She prefers to be the only pet in the home so she can get all the attention and become the cherished family companion she was meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving dog who will grow more confident and affectionate every day, Lucy might be the perfect match for your family! Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online:  https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 19, 2026, 9:33 pm

Meet Winnie! Winnie is a young, high-energy German Shepherd mix who brings endless enthusiasm and joy to every day! This spirited girl loves being outside and can play for hours on end — whether it’s running, fetching, or just exploring the yard, she’s always ready for adventure. She’s a tough-play kind of girl and prefers her hard toys over stuffed ones (they hold up much better to her zoomies and enthusiastic chewing!). Winnie really likes other dogs and enjoys playful interactions, so she’d love a home where she can have a furry friend to wrestle and chase with. If you’re an active family or couple who enjoys spending lots of time outdoors and wants a fun, energetic companion who’s always up for a game, Winnie might be the perfect match!  Come meet this playful, high-spirited girl — applications are welcome!  Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online:  https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 19, 2026, 9:33 pm
